I read a lot of Hellboy comics after seeing Hellboy I. I can see why a lot of my friends who loved the Hellboy comics hated the movie - the comic Hellboy is a bit older and a bit more world-weary, sort of the equivalent of a man in his 40s. Perlman plays movie Hellboy as in his early 20s, just really facing the world and trying to figure it out, although with a bucket of cynicism thrown in for good measure.
